Chapter 795


    Although Sonia didn''t hear what Rina muttered to herself at the end, she did see the change in


    Rina''s expression the moment the elevator doors slid shut.


    The ferocious expression, so full of hostile intent, was intimidating enough to make Sonia shudder.


    She knew Rina was looking at her like that because the answer she gave wasn''t what Rina wanted.


    What Rina wanted was for her to agree to donate a kidney to Titus, regardless of whether he was


    her


    father.


    However, Sonia simply wouldn''t agree, and that was what had Rina so enraged.


    In truth, it was quite amusing. Sonia had no idea what Rina was thinking of and where she found


    the gall to assume that Sonia not only would, but was supposed, to save Titus.


    For Rina to even bring up the hypothetical, where Titus was Sonia''s father!


    Titus Gray, my father?


    As Sonia stared at the elevator disy, she sneered internally.


    How can that be possible?


    It would be a tragedy to her if he were.


    After all, she was raised by the Reeds. What would she even do if she was trapped between them


    and the biological father who ruined them?


    Was she supposed to continue helping them seek revenge?


    Or was she supposed to give up seeking revenge and return to her father''s side?


    No matter which path it was, Sonia had no way of choosing.


    If she chose the former, she would be cast aside by society as the demon who could harm even her


    biological parents.


    If she chose thetter, she would still be cast aside by society as the traitor who abandoned the


    foster parents who treasured her.


    That was why either path was a dead end for her. The only thing she could do was entirely dissolve


    the enmity between the two families in the most peaceful way possible.


    As for what the most peaceful way was, it would be giving up her life in exchange for the dissipation


    of the feud between the families.


    As long as Sonia died, she would not need to seek revenge on behalf of the Reeds.


    As long as she died, the Grays would perhaps recognize that they had wronged the Reeds,


    choosing to let everything go and atone for their past sins. After all, the Reeds had raised her.


    That way, not only would she not need to face her biological parents, but she would be able to make


    up for the wrongful treatment of the Reeds. No one else would need to pay for this feud with their


    lives—only her.


    How ideal that would be!


    Of course, before all of that, Titus Gray and his wife would need to be her biological parents.


    Since they weren’t, Sonia didn''t need to worry about what problems would arise from the feud


    between the Grays and the Reeds. With a clear conscience, she could plunge the de of revenge


    into the Grays on behalf of the Reeds.


    On that note, Zane had mentioned the establishment of a business investigation team. In Seafield, it


    would be investigating the Triforce Enterprise and one other business.


    By now, the investigation team had reached the neighboring city of Fredburg, and they would be at


    Seafield by the next month and begin investigations on Triforce Enterprise.


    There was definitely something fishy going on at the Triforce Enterprise.


    If the skeletons in its closet were dug out next month, would Titus get so angry that he perished on


    the spot, especially now that his health was so poor?


    At the thought of that possibility, Sonia couldn''t help feeling gleeful.


    Ding!


    Just then, the elevator reached its destination.


    Taking a deep breath, she calmed the emotions in her heart and exited the elevator with the paper


    bag in hand. Once she returned to her apartment, she began making the stew.


    By the time the stew was made, it was nearly 1 PM.


    With a thermos in hand, she drove all the way to Paradigm. Co..


    At first, she had wanted to deliver it to the Fuller Group right away, but had received a phone call


    from Daphne in the middle of the trip telling her that there was an important document that urgently


    needed her signature. With no other choice, Sonia could only return to thepany.


    "Chairman Reed."


    "Good afternoon, Chairman Reed."


    After she walked through the front doors of Paradigm Co., all of the employees she met on the way


    stopped to greet her.


    In response, she nodded with a smile at all of them.


    Very quickly, Sonia reached the top floor, whereupon she stepped out of the elevator to see Daphne


    waiting by her office door.


    As she waved at Daphne, thetter smiled. "Good afternoon, Chairman Reed.”


    "G-Good afternoon." Sonia then coughed with some embarrassment.

    While she was able to calmly respond to the previous employees'' greetings, she wasn’t able to


    achieve that with Daphne, since Daphne knew the reason she had only just arrived here.


    That was why Sonia felt somewhat awkward as she was responding to her secretary.


    However, Sonia was gradually growing a thicker skin nowpared to before. As long as she didn''t


    meet Daphne''s eyes, she could more or less pretend nothing had happened and open her office


    door with false indifference.


    Since Sonia hadn''t been to the office in a couple of days, there was a stuffy smell inside.


    Immediately, Daphne walked over to the windows and opened all of them to allow fresh air through.


    Dropping her purse, Sonia smiled at Daphne. "Thank you.”


    With a shake of her head, Daphne answered, "There''s no need to thank me, Chairman Reed. This


    is part of my job."


    "That may be so, but it still wouldn''t be polite." Sonia smiled and pulled out her chair to sit down.


    Walking over to stand in front of her desk, Daphne suggested, "Perhaps you should give me a key


    so that I can help you tidy up your office if you’re unable toe for a few days, Chairman Reed."


    The words instantly made Sonia''s face heat up. "What do you mean, ''unable toe for a few


    days''? Don''t speak nonsense."


    Watching her with amusement, Daphne continued, "I''m not speaking nonsense. Haven’t the past


    two days been proof?"


    Feeling her cheeks warm even further, Sonia stared at the secretary who had rendered her


    speechless.


    Finally, pretending to be annoyed, she picked up the plush toy on her desk and tossed it at Daphne.


    "I see you''ve grown bold enough to tease me now." Meanwhile, Daphne smoothly caught the toy


    and returned it to the desk with a smile. "Don''t be angry, Chairman Reed. I was only joking. But to


    tell you the truth, you''re looking rather fine today."


    "Oh?" Sonia felt her own cheeks.


    Daphne nodded. "Yes. There''s a blush on your cheeks that makes you look much prettier than


    usual, all thanks to President Fuller."


    "What does it have to do with him?" Not having caught Daphne''s meaning yet, Sonia raised her


    eyebrows.


    It wasn''t until she noticed Daphne


    watching her silently with the tiniest hint of a smile that Sonia suddenly understood what her


    secretary was implying.


    And just like that, the blush that had barely faded came back in full force. Annoyed and


    exasperated, she red at her secretary. "If you keep up with this, Daphne Robinson, I''m going to


    get really angry."


    "Okay, okay. I''ll stop." With a smile, Daphne waved a hand to indicate that she would behave.


    Sonia harrumphed in response. "Now give me the document."


    "Yes, ma''am." Daphne rubbed her cheeks and reverted to her usual no-nonsense, school teacher


    demeanor before handing the document over.


    As Sonia epted the document and signed it, she instructed at the same time, "By the way,


    please have someone deliver this to Fuller Group in a minute."


    She tapped the thermos next to her with a pen.


    Pushing her ck-framed sses up her nose, Daphne inquired, "Is this for President Fuller,


    Chairman Reed?"


    Instantly, she guessed correctly.


    With a glimmer in her eyes, Sonia simply nodded and told the truth. "Yes. As you know, he was in a


    car ident the other day and although he wasn''t severely injured, I still wanted to make him some


    stew in case his body needed supplemental nutrition."


    There was no way she would admit to the real reason she thought he needed ''supplemental


    nutrition'' being the previous night and not the car crash.


    If she said such things out loud, Daphne would no doubt begin another round of teasing.


    That''s why Sonia chose to remain


    silent.


    Sure enough, Daphne epted her reasoning at face value and didn''t ask any further questions.


    Instead, the secretary simply picked up the thermos. "I''ll have Andrew drop it off, since he''ll be


    passing byter."


    "Thank you. Do as you see fit." Sonia nodded and handed the signed document back.
